As we have said many times before, Right Norris! the ONLY reason we had track ends was because we could NOT afford to have two or three bikes in those days, Track ends work for every type of races that we enetered. BUT IF you want a modern R/P frame. several builders in the US and Brit land will build you one. FOR A PRICE! Mercian in Derby WILL I know, but Brit shipping is very expensive and I understand that NOW a Postage strike is on! I do have a 1950 Mercian R/P But it aint for sale!
